Visual performance about a lonely man who is quietly reading the newspaper until it all of a sudden seems to turn into Pandora's box.

The news gets 'real'. The man has bizarre encounters with a boy on the run from war and violence and with a bunch of terrorists. He witnesses a tragedy at sea. Slowly but surely his safe house becomes a battlefield full of question marks. Does he manage to stay just an observer?

NITWIT holds up a mirror to 'our' table manners with this highly current topic and touching story, told around a miraculous table full of special effects, using live music, puppetry and physical comedy.
